Agent: These guys were all threatening us yesterday with hand guns.
...
Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us.
Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols?
A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us.
R: Pulling out literal guns?
A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

This is not law enforcement. It’s state-sponsored terrorism. Fascist GTFO of MN
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

This is EXACTLY what St. Paul has been warning about all these years.
Originally published on 6/2/2020 (after the killing of George Floyd), this cartoon seems all too relevant again today.

Would like to see Minnesota lawmakers push to ban the use of CS gas and other forms of chemical irritants in our state. Especially those that have already been banned under international law.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

They are trying to criminalize everything we do regardless of whether we have a constitutional right to do it, so you might as well hop in.

Holy crap.
This is the most damning video yet.
It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face.
Murder.

We keep our receipts around here Paul
Minnesota Vikings play-by-play announcer Paul Allen pushed the paid-protestor conspiracy during Friday's episode of his radio show (bit.ly/4k0Ky4f)
"In conditions like this, do paid protesters get hazard pay? Those are the things that I've been thinking about this morning."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Now: With double digit windchill, thousands marching in Downtown Minneapolis during a general strike. Marching and protest against the actions of ICE. Prince dance party outside First Avenue and the Prince mural - where there’s been many Prince dance parties before.
